Academic Plans

Books at Library

Academic Plans incorporate University, General Education, and Major requirements and are designed to assist you in short- and long-term planning. Academic plans should be used as a guide; the actual class choices you make throughout your academic career can and will likely change how your individual plan looks. Plans will also vary based on quarterly schedule of class offerings and availability.
